About Flint Publishing
Flint Publishing is an independent publisher producing a selective list of nonfiction, puzzle, and fiction titles. We focus on work that values clarity, originality, and thoughtful execution.
Our catalog includes textbooks and professional nonfiction, puzzle and activity books, and narrative fiction with an emphasis on women-led action, fantasy, and select speculative works.
We publish a limited number of titles each year. Our editorial approach favors long-term relevance, disciplined storytelling, and projects developed with care rather than speed.
Flint Publishing works collaboratively with authors and contributors, emphasizing editorial judgment, design quality, and professional standards throughout the publishing process.
Why you should choose us.
It is important for would-be authors to recognize that financial success is not a guarantee for the majority of writers. The completed product should be the metric by which authors evaluate their success. Despite the fact that the majority of us anticipate financial success from our books, they will not generate substantial profits. As authors, we define success by achieving what few others do: the publication of our written ideas.
Through drafts, revisions, and potential rejection, the process of writing a book necessitates perseverance, discipline, and dedication. The Flint Group offers personalized service to all of our authors because the process can be difficult.
Our publishing manager meets with the writer and discusses the steps to publishing, and then, depending on the plan, we set everything up. The author has the option to choose us to handle their marketing or handle that themselves.
Our logo was inspired by the second mass-produced book, The Book of Psalms, printed by Peter Schoffer. Most educated people know the first book mass-produced by Gutenberg was the Bible, but at Flint, we think sometimes being second can be really good too.
Our experience is essential in editing, marketing, and moving your manuscript through the publication process.
We are authors, marketers, graphic designers and most importantly avid readers. Going to work to read — could we ask for a better job!
Our team guides you through the maze of publishing. We have all been there and learned the hard way the loopholes that can quickly eat away at your royalties. There are a lot of options and unlike other firms that do not communicate with you—we will let you know the plan and status every step of the way
We do things that many consultants and writers do not consider as part of the publication process.
Proofing, Plagarism Checks
Arguably, there is nothing more embarrassing to an author than typos. If you write 80,000 words, there will be errors, but we like to keep them to a minimum.
Formatting
Formatting per the printer’s specs includes creating files for perfect bound books also referred to paperback books, hardbound books, epubs, Apple Books, and Amazon Kindle.
Pricing
The distributor deducts all publication costs from your royalties. All of the costs must be evaluated in order to price your book so that you do not owe money and still have formats that appeal to a variety of audiences.
Content Strategy
We can provide the opportunity to have an editor proofread and offer feedback on your manuscript. Developmental recommendations may also be included.
Book Reviews
As in all businesses, reviews are important. We have marketing options to have publications review your book as well as strategies to have readers leave a review on retailer sites.
